Conception
Nature moves my art through beauty, simplicity, and unbroken rhythm. From this rhythm, I draw inspiration from ancient Hellenic art.
For the Hellenes, creation — painting, sculpture, poetry — springs from the movements of nature itself. The gods they shaped were living embodiments of natural forces. Hence an art not national, but universal — the art of humanity across ages. Its sculpture carries a timeless grace: harmony, serenity of character, an ideal of balance.

Beauty is motion that rises, unfolds, and returns, promising renewal. Dance embodies this rhythm: all that dies, lives again. My figures — often nude, drawn from my own danced body — fall instinctively into Hellenic postures. Paintings, photographs, and photo-collages seek a unity of form and movement — a rhythm flowing through every manifestation of nature.
An holistic conception: Art–Science–Philosophy
My work grows from the Classical Pythagorean–Platonic tripod of Art, Science, and Philosophy. Not three separate domains, but one spiral motion — research in mind (noēsis), embodied rhythm (Choreia), and reflective measure (philosophy). Art is the living test of ideas; science grants method and clarity; philosophy gives first principles and insight.
Ecology of Dance
Here I sought a model where dance becomes a form of knowledge — a way of thinking with the body.
Can one understand something by dancing it? Can myth — and the metaphors of the Hellenic gods — open levels of
integrated complexity otherwise beyond reach?
Even at risk of falling on the rocks I danced upon, I followed the movement toward unity — the imaginative
restoration of rhythm between humanity and nature.

Goethe’s Museum Vernissage
An exploration of transformation of the self — a passage through death into renewal. For Goethe, as for me, transformation transcends mortality: to the imaginative eye, nature itself imagines as human. My works offered a choreographic translation of verses from Faust, echoing Helen’s chorus who, after death, choose to become nature once more. See the gallery: Goethe’s Greek Dream.
“The fascination and evaluation of Goethe for the Greek Antiquity is summed up in his phrase: ‘the ultimate product of a continuously evolving nature is the beautiful human being’: this could be the signature of Maria’s art. ‘Seeking with the soul the land of the Greeks’, tells the poet in Iphigenia. Contemplating the images of Maria Alexea one feels intensively this longing, which Goethe defines in another passage as a universal existential longing for the Homeland — implying the longing for ancient Greece — as the unique in history humanistic formed place of human existence.” — Prof. Dr. Volkmar Hansen, Director of the Goethe Museum, Düsseldorf

Paintings
Figures, often nude and drawn from my danced body, settle into Hellenic postures — friezes of motion rather than static forms. The brushwork follows a pulse: rise • unfold • return. Discover selections in Paintings.
Photo-collage
Photographic layers become choreography: gesture, interval, and resonance align to a single rhythm. Stone, sea, and wind speak in a shared measure. Enter the series in Photo-collage.
Film — Faust: A Return from the Future
A Prophetic Docu-Fantasy
Faust: A Return from the Future is an innovative docu-fantasy that moves between narrative cinema, experimental form, and documentary gesture. Originally conceived as a docudrama, it surpasses that frame, creating a mirror-play between reality and the Faustian super-reality — the reality of Gaia, not the counterfeit earthly realm. Through an embedded structure — a film within a film — creation, performance, and interpretation unfold simultaneously.
